Frequently Asked Questions

Each workbench tier (and the Engineering Workbench) unlocks its own independent set of blueprints in-game - they aren't stages of one combined tree.

Scrap cost to research that blueprint at a Research Table, taken from the same in-game tech tree screen - not to be confused with the item's own crafting cost, which is on its item page.
